THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGINEERING COMPETITIONS AND HACKATHONS IN EDUCATION
N. Nomozova , A. Mukhamadiyev ,Abstract
This article analyzes the role of engineering competitions and hackathons in the modern education system, as well as their importance in shaping students’ competencies. The research highlights, on a scientific basis, the methodology for organizing engineering hackathons, their stages, evaluation criteria, and factors influencing the educational process. Based on the results of hackathons held at TSTU and TUIT, an increase in the number of startup projects created by students, the development of practical skills, and the strengthening of cooperation with industry have been noted. In addition, a review of foreign experience — including that of the USA, Europe, and Asian countries — demonstrates the prospects of regularly organizing such events within Uzbekistan’s education system. The results of the article include practical recommendations for the wider implementation of project-based learning approaches and the development of an innovative environment in higher education institutions.
